Film School Friday Lesson #22 - How To Survive A Valentines Break Up

Last week, Film School Friday celebrated its 21st birthday by teaching readers how to have an awesome birthday. Film School Friday also celebrated its 21st birthday by getting more wrecked than Bad Santa and Barney Gumble on an all night bender in Vegas. Don't judge me. Being young is pretty stressful these days. We have so many choices to contend with. Do you see films in 2D or 3D? Do you prefer Marvel or DC? Do you read Film School Friday or work to feed your children? Life is full of choices and some are harder to make than most.

With Valentine's Day coming up, poor life choices may be catching up with some of you right now. If you find yourself alone on February 14th, don't panic. Sure, suicide is an option for some, but why not lose yourself in the world of film instead? Who needs the warm embrace of a lover when you could just stare at a lit-up box for 2 hours, fantasizing about people and situations you will never encounter, not even in your wildest dreams? Don't worry, Film School Friday will sort you out, so find your tissues, eat some chocolate and grab your favorite ice cream spoon as we read on for today's lesson.

Oscars 2014: Winner Predictions Part Two.

 

Yesterday, I predicted some Oscar winners. Today I'll be doing the same thing. Every year when the winners are announced, there is only one group of awards anyone really cares about; the acting categories. It makes sense, they tend to be the only names people recognise on the list of nominees. This years list is no different, sprinkled with big name stars you know, some names you don't and some you just can't pronounce. But whose name will be called out on March 2nd? Whose face will have a fake smile plastered across it, as they realise they haven't won? And  whose overly indulgent acceptance speech with be played out by the orchestra? Let's see what I think... 

Muppets Most Wanted Trailer - Moments Worth Paying For

Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and the World's Number One Criminal Constantine star in the latest Moments Worth Paying For trailer to coincide with the release of Muppets Most Wanted on 28th March. In the hilarious new trailer, Miss Piggy demonstrates the importance of choosing the "real thing" when it comes to cinema and how to deal with imposters by introducing Muppets fan to FindAnyFrog.com.

Oscars 2014: Winner Predictions Part One.

Since the Oscar nominations were announced last week, people have been speculating and predicting whose names will be read out on the evening of March 2nd at the Kodak Theatre. While some categories seem obvious to call, others have people baffled, like Best Picture. Thanks to the tie at the PGA between Gravity and 12 Years, as well as American Hustles SAG win, this years Oscars is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in years. Who should win? Who should have been nominated? And  who the bloody hell will win? I don't know, but like everyone else, I'm going to have a guess anyway. Here are my Oscar 2014 predictions... 

Film School Friday Lesson #21 - How To Have An Awesome Birthday

Last week, Film School Friday taught loyal readers how to bring the dead back to life. How did that go for you? Did the newly resurrected thank you for disturbing their slumber? Were they grateful for being hurled back into a world of pain, misery and Adam Sandler films? I highly doubt it. And did we even stop to consider what condition these walking corpses would even be in? How are they going to enjoy the cinema if their eyeballs keep falling out? How are they going to eat popcorn with a hole in their stomach? Life is short but sweet and perhaps it should stay that way.

Seth MacFarlane's A Million Ways To Die In The West - 1st Trailer (Red-Band)

The first trailer for Seth MacFarlane's new live action comedy has just hit the internet only hours after the character posters debuted online. Our first glimpse of A Million Ways To Die In The West pushes the red-band warning to the max with sex, swearing and as the film's name would imply, a whole lot of dying. I'm not exaggerating here; MacFarlane's take on the Wild West seems to feature more deaths than 6 Feet Under, but don't worry Ted fans. In the trailer at least, the gore is balanced out with a constant string of gags to keep audiences laughing.
